2.2.3 Mounting the Remeha Avanta Plus

• Remove the mounting plate and template from the box.


• Using the template determine and mark the position of the
three mounting holes and center line of flue, making sure
the plate is absolutely level.
• Drill the (Ø 10 mm) holes.
• Fit the (Ø 10 mm) plugs.
• Fit (Ø 8 mm) screws into the plugs.
• Check the mounting plate is level and tighten the screws.
• Fit the valve set to the mounting plate.
• Fit fibre washers on the CH valves.
• Remove boiler from the box and suspend it on mounting
plate.
• Connect the valves to the boiler remembering to fit fibre
washers supplied.
• Connect the supplied copper tails to the isolating valves.

m
• The boiler should be mounted on a suitable vertical wall
which is able to support the weight of the boiler.
• The boiler should be mounted in a room which, even during
severe cold weather, remains frost-free.
• If the boiler is to be installed in a timber framed building,
please refer to British Gas publication: ‘Guide for Gas
Installations in Timber frame Housing’, reference DM2.
• In a new installation it is possible to fit just the wall plate
and valve set to enable the system pipework to be complet-
ed and tested before fitting the boiler at a later date (place
fibre washers supplied in a safe place for use when fitting
the boiler).

z
• Make sure the boiler and any open connections are protec-
ted from building dust etc. during the installation.
• There must be a 3 amp fused switched spur within 1m of
the boiler.
• Provision must be made for the condensate discharge.

2.3 Water-side connections

2.3.1 Water flow


An internal automatic flow by-pass is supplied in the Avanta
Plus to ensure correct operation on systems fitted with TRV’s
on all heat emitters. The ‘abc®’ control also monitors the tem-
perature difference across the flow and return connections and
the rate of temperature rise and will automatically regulate the
boiler output to ensure that it remains operational for as long
as possible without the need to ‘lock out’ requiring a manual
re-set.

LT.AL.W7H.000.012

10
2.3.2 Circulation pumps
The Remeha Avanta Plus 24s and 28c are fitted with the
Grundfos UPR 15-60 and the Avanta Plus 35c and 39c with
the UPR 15-70, two-speed circulation pumps. The control unit
ensures that when the hot-water function is active, the pump
runs at ‘high’. The factory setting of the pump for CH func-
tion is ‘low.’ If necessary, the service installer can adjust this
to ‘high’ by switching parameter 21 (from 0 to 1) see par.
2.9.8.

2.3.3 Additional guidelines for the domestic and CH water


Residual head UPR 15-60 • The system should be filled with mains cold water (for the

As most systems contain a variety of metals, it is considered
200
good practice to provide some form of water treatment in order
100 to prevent or reduce the following:
• Metallic corrosion

CH- flow [l/h]
• Microbiological contamination
LT.AL.W7H.000.014 • Chemical changes in the untreated system water

m
All scale deposits however small will reduce the efficiency of
the boiler and should be prevented.

Suitable chemicals and their use should be discussed with a


specialist water treatment company prior to carrying out any
work (environmental aspects, health aspects). The specifica-
tion of the system and manufacturers recommendations must
be taken into account, along with the age and condition of
the system. New systems should be flushed thoroughly to
BS 7593(1992) to remove all traces of flux, debris, grease
and metal swarf generated during installation. Care to be
taken with old systems to ensure any black metallic iron oxide
sludge and other corrosive residues are removed, again by
power flushing, ensuring that the system is drained completely
from all low points.

11
Remeha Avanta Plus

z
Please ensure that the new boiler plant is not in circuit when
the flushing takes place, especially if cleansing chemicals are
used to assist the process.

It is important to check the inhibitor concentration after installa-


tion, system modifications, filling the system and every service
in accordance with these instructions.

For the correct dosage and the suitability of inhibitors for use
with our boilers and for further information on water treatment
or system cleaning we advise direct contact with either of the

2.3.5 Safety valve discharge


A pressure relief safety valve is fitted in the boiler set to the
maximum operating pressure of the boiler at 3 bar.
If the pressure in the boiler becomes too high the pressure is
relieved by releasing water outside via the safety valve dis-
charge pipe. A safety valve should be fitted in accordance with
the British standards. The safety valve discharge pipe must be
at least 15 mm Ø. The discharge should be terminated facing
downwards exterior to the building in a position where dis-
charging water will not create danger or nuisance but remains
in a visible position.

12
2.3.6 Expansion vessel
An 8 litre expansion vessel (with the vessel charge set to 1.0
bar) is fitted as standard within the boiler case and is suitable
for use in a heating system with a water content up to 100
litres, operating at a flow temperature of 80°C, a maximum
pressure of 3 bar and a maximum system static head of 5
metres above the boiler. If the system water content is greater
than 100 litres, or the system static head above the boiler is
greater than 5 m, an additional vessel must be installed in the
system to allow for the increase in expansion, see table 01.

m
Install additional vessel according BS 5449, part1.

2.3.7 Connecting DHW pipes

• Fit the outlet pipe for hot water to the DHW outlet ¢
15 mm Ø connection.
• Fit the inlet pipe for cold water to the DHW inlet   15 mm
Ø connection.

z
• The DHW pipes must be connected in accordance with
current regulations.
• For plastic pipes, follow the manufacturer’s instructions (for
connection).

2.3.8 Connecting the ‘CH return’

• Fit the inlet pipe for CH water to the ‘CH return’ — 22 mm


Ø connection.

o
The Remeha Avanta Plus has a drain cock built into the return
isolating valve
It is considered good practice to install an air separator / dirt
removal device in the return to the boiler.

LT.AL.W7H.000.016

2.3.9 Connecting ‘CH flow’

• Fit the outlet pipe for CH water to the ‘CH flow’ – 22 mm


Ø connection.


o
The Remeha Avanta Plus has a drain cock built into the flow
isolating valve.

LT.AL.W7H.000.017

14
2.3.10 Connecting condensate drain

• Connect the condensate drain outlet Ÿ to a suitable waste


water drain point using acid resisting pipe work (i.e. - ¾”
overflow) To enable the siphon in the boiler to be removed
/ serviced, the connection should not be a permanent one
(i.e. “push fit” system).
• To prevent the risk of freezing connect the condensate into
an internal vertical soil pipe using a tundish (air break) c/w a
min 75 mm water seal trap.
• If the condensate pipe has to run externally make sure
this is done by realizing the shortest possible route, and
increase the diameter to at least 1¼” or insulate it with
weather resistant insulation.
• The drain should slope at least 3 cm per meter, with a maxi-
mum horizontal length of 5 m.

z
• If connecting into an internal discharge branch (i.e. sink
waste etc) the connection must be down stream of the
existing waste trap.
• Fill the boiler siphon with water before operation, to
prevent flue gasses discharging into the room.
LT.AL.W7H.000.018 • The condensate drain must be connected in accordance
with current regulations.

2.3.11 Connecting under floor heating


The Remeha Avanta Plus can be connected directly to an
under floor heating system.
If plastic pipes have been used they must be made oxygen dif-
fusion proof in compliance with DIN 4726/4729
When installing under floor heating with a separate pump, the
layout should be such that the under floor heating pump can-
not cause a flow to the boiler if there is no heat demand. A low
loss header should therefore be fitted between the system and
the boiler.

z
Please ensure that the residual pump duty of the boiler is
sufficient for the resistance of the under floor system. If not a
low loss header should be used to separate the boiler from
the under floor circuit to allow a separate pump sized for the
resistance of the under floor system to be used.

2.4 Gas-side connections

2.4.1 Additional guidelines for gas connections

m
Before installation, check that the gas meter has sufficient
capacity for the demand. Remember to consider the
consumption of all household appliances.

15
Remeha Avanta Plus

2.4.2 Adjusting boiler to other gas-type


The Avanta Plus boilers are suitable for both natural gas and
propane firing. For the Avanta Plus 39c an optional LPG-set is
needed.
The boilers are supplied as standard set for natural gas
(H), therefore the following procedure must be carried out
BEFORE the boilers are fired and commissioned for the first
time on propane:
Adjust the fan speed (see Par. 2.9.8) and adjust the gas/air
ratio (see Par. 2.9.3).

2.4.3 Connecting the gas supply

• Before starting any work on the gas supply, turn off the main
isolation valve.
• Connect the gas supply œ to the 22 mm Ø boiler
connection.

m
• Make sure there is no dirt in the gas pipe. Blow through
the pipe before installation or tap well to purge.
• Make sure that the minimum gas service pressure is high
LT.AL.W7H.000.019 enough (in full load > 17 mbar).
• Preferably install a gas filter in the gas pipe to prevent the
gas block from getting dirty.
• The gas supply must be connected, tested for soundness
and purged by a qualified Engineer and in accordance
with BS6891.

2.5 Flue terminal and air supply connections


The Remeha Avanta Plus is only suitable for room sealed
operation with a standard concentric connection 60/100 mm Ø
or the optional 80/125 mm Ø connection.
Detailed recommendations for air supply and flue terminals are
given in BS 5440.

z
It should not be necessary to provide compartment ventilation
when the boiler is used with a standard concentric flue.

2.5.1 Flue terminal positions


The flue terminal must be located with care to ensure that the
products of combustion are dispersed properly in all weather
conditions and cause minimum nuisance to the building user
or any adjacent buildings. If the terminal is positioned less
than 2 m above the ground, balcony, or flat roof where access
by persons is possible a suitable guard must be employed.

z
The boiler will produce a water vapour plume during normal
operation.

2.6.1 The control unit


The Remeha Avanta Plus has an electronic regulation and
control unit with an integrated ionisation flame detector. The
heart of the boiler control unit is a microprocessor, the ‘abc®’,
which controls and protects the boiler.

The maximum rated input is between 115 and 180 W (depend-


ing on boiler type).
The boiler is fully pre-wired internally, all external connections
can be made using the terminal strips X5 - X7 - X9 and 230
V input (X2 terminal). See the diagram for the position of the
connectors and fuse (F2) on the control unit.
The most important properties of the control unit are summa-

The boiler must be installed in a frost-free area to prevent the


condensate drain from freezing. However if the temperature of
the CH water in the boiler drops too low, the integrated boiler
protection device is activated as follows:
- at a water temperature below 7°C: the circulation pump is
switched on;
X9
- at a water temperature below 3°C: the boiler is switched on;
- when the water temperature is above 10°C: the boiler is
LT.AL.W7H.000.031 switched off and the circulation pump runs for another
15 minutes.

4. Checking/setting the gas/air ratio at full load

The Avanta Plus boilers are suitable for both natural gas and
propane firing. For the Avanta Plus 39c an optional propane-
set is needed.
R The boilers are supplied as standard set for natural gas
(H), therefore the following procedure must be carried out
BEFORE the boilers are fired and commissioned for the first
time on propane:
- adjust the fan speed (for procedure; see Par. 2.9.8, for val-
A ues; see table 06 and table 08) and;
- adjust the gas/air ratio (for values; see table 06 and table 08).

wise which decreases the gas rate
Check the flame through the sight glass which should be stable
with a regular orange distribution. Once the unit has been set to
part load, the ‘test at full load’ should be repeated.

z
Ensure that the analysing probe has a gas tight seal in the
sampling point with the probe end in the centre of the flue duct.

• Repeat the ‘test at full load’ and ‘test at part load’ as often as
necessary until the correct values are achieved without fur-
ther adjustments

2.9.7 Adjust the boiler according to the system


The operating parameters of the Remeha Avanta Plus have
been factory set to suit most systems. However it is possible
to adjust some of the parameters to enable the Remeha Avan-
ta Plus to operate more efficiently to match specific system
designs and site conditions. These parameters are split into
two specific sections
1. User level – Parameters p 1 to p 6; can be changed by
the user to suit CH and DHW comfort conditions
2. Service level – p17 to dF ; must only be changed by
Broag approved Engineer after consultation with the
system designer.

o
How to change the parameters at user level can be read in the
“User manual” provided and therefore will not be detailed in
this Installation and Service manual.

2.9.8 Changing the parameters at service level (with


access code)
To avoid non authorised adjustments, some parameter settings
can only be changed once the special access code 12 has
been entered. This code may only be used by qualified install-
ers. The following settings can be changed at user and service
level:

2.10 Putting the boiler out of operation


The boiler must be switched off and allowed to cool down
before any maintenance or repairs are carried out. If the cen-
tral heating system is not going to be used for a long time
(during the holidays, for instance, or frost-free periods) it is
advisable to put the boiler out of operation.

LT.AL.W7H.000.052 2.10.1 Boiler with frost protection, during longer periods


of non-use
• Set the room thermostat to a low temperature, e.g. 10°C,
• Switch setting p4 to 1 (Eco mode), this will switch off
the heat retention function.
Now the boiler will only start working to protect itself against
freezing. With external frost protection, the boiler can also
prevent the central heating system from freezing.

2.10.2 Boiler without frost protection, during longer


periods of non-use
• Turn time clock off and allow system to cool down then iso-
late mains power supply at the fused spur unit.
• Isolate the gas supply at the boiler valve.

m
Drain the boiler and central heating system if you will not be
using the home for a long period and there is a chance of
night frost.

3 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

The Remeha Avanta Plus is practically maintenance free but


should be inspected annually.

z
If during the annual inspection the flue gas analysis indicates
that the values are outside the figures given in table 10,
maintenance work should be carried out as described in
par.3.2. Also carry out maintenance if the ionisation read-out
value is lower than 3 or higher than 9μA, or when the flame
core is not satisfying.

Only Remeha spare parts/materials should be used.


All service and maintenance must be carried out by a quali-
fied Engineer with the relevant training and certification (i.e.
CORGI - ACS - IEE registrations etc).

3.1 Inspection

The annual inspection of the Remeha Avanta Plus can be lim-


ited to the following checks:
- check the water pressure, see par. 3.1.1;
- check the flue pipes and air supply pipes for leaks, see par.
3.1.2.;
- check and clean (if necessary) the condensate siphon, see
par.3.1.3.;
- check the ignition electrode and ionisation, see par. 3.1.3;
- check the combustion and flame colour, see par. 3.1.5;
- fill in the Boiler Log Book.

pipes are sealed and the terminal exit is clear.

LT.AL.W7H.000.055

42
3.1.3 Checking the condensate siphon
• Check the condensate siphon. Remove any dirt resi-
dues and refill with clean water to the mark.

LT.AL.W7H.000.0233

3.1.4 Checking the ignition electrode

• Check the ionisation /ignition electrode for:


- deposits (remove any white deposits with abrasive cloth);
- the adjustment of the ignition electrode (between 3 and 4
mm);
- the quality of the gasket and condition of the porcelain
(this should not be cracked);
3 à 4 mm
• Check the ionisation current after 1 minute on the display
code fl, see par. 2.9.6.
If the read-out value is lower than 3 or higher than 9μA,
check cable and connections are sound if OK replace the
ignition electrode.
>1 min
z
The ignition cap is fixed on the ignition electrode and therefore
cannot be removed.
LT.AL.W7H.000.056

3.1.5 Checking the combustion


• Measure the O2/CO2 percentage and the flue gas tempera-
ture at the flue gas sample point.
Do this as follows:

- heat the water temperature in the boiler to approx. 70°C;


- unscrew the top of the flue gas point of measurement;
- measure the O2/CO2 percentage and compare this to the
check values in table 10.

z
Ensure that the analysing probe has a gas tight seal in the
sampling point with the probe end in the centre of the flue
duct.

z
The O2/CO2 - values in table 10 are checking values. For
setting values see table 05 and table 07.

If the flue gas analysis readings are within the values in table
10 the boiler combustion is OK. However if the readings are
outside the given values, then adjust the gas air ratio control to
the given values, see table 05 and table 07 in par.2.9.3.
If the adjustments cannot achieve the mentioned values, the
boiler will require a full service please refer to the maintenance
instructions in par. 3.2.
- check the flame via the inspection glass; in full load the
flame should be stable with an even blue colour and in part
load should be stable with an even orange colour.

4 ERRORS
4.1 General
The Remeha Avanta Plus has an advanced control unit. The
heart of this control unit is a microprocessor, the abc®-con-
trol which both controls and protects the boiler. If an error is
detected anywhere in the boiler, it will lock-out and an error
code will appear in the display.

4.2 Error codes


The Remeha Avanta Plus displays the error codes as follows:
é 2 (the display alternately shows an é and a number e.g.

8.3 Working principle
The Remeha Avanta Plus casing serves as a sealed air box,
with air drawn in by the fan. On the outlet side of the fan is
11 a venturi, into which a measured quantity of gas is injected
8
based on the volume of air available. The fan speed con-
9 trol is dependent on the settings of the external control, the
10 advanced boiler controller ‘abc®’ and the prevailing tempera-
tures (measured by the temperature sensors).

LT.AL.W7H.000.202 This method of gas/air ratio control ensures that the gas
quantity is precisely adjusted to the air quantity. Thus creating
optimum combustion over the whole heat input range. The gas
and air is mixed in the venturi and then passes into the spe-
cially designed pre-mix burner. After combustion, the hot flue
gas is directed through a specially designed, high efficiency
helicoil stainless steel heat exchanger with a large surface
area, and transfers it’s heat to the system water circulating
around the coils. In the condensing part of the exchanger the
water vapour in the flue gas condenses within it and the heat
released during this process (the so-called latent or condens-
ing heat) is also transferred to the system water. The conden-
sate water so formed is discharged from the heat exchanger
via a siphon.

60
o
In normal operation, the boiler’s flue gas discharge will
produce a visible white condensing “plume” and therefore care
should be taken when choosing a location for the terminal.

Combi boiler operation


The Remeha Avanta Plus 28c, 35c and 39c are combination
boilers with an integral plate heat exchanger providing instant
domestic hot water. On opening a hot water tap, detected by
a flow sensor, which is located on the cold water inlet side of
the heat exchanger detects the demand. This sensor then acti-
vates the motorised three-way valve to divert primary flow to
the plate heat exchanger which raises the temperature of the
cold water supply by a minimum of 35°C to provide domestic
hot water. Once the demand for hot water stops the motorised
valve automatically returns to the DHW position. This three-
way valve is electrically controlled by the ‘abc®’ control and
only consumes power when it is changing to a different posi-
tion.
The plate heat exchanger is protected from debris by two fil-
ters one in the cold water supply and one in the primary flow
to the diverting valve – Note: the primary flow filter self cleans
when the flow reverts back to heating mode.

System boiler operation


The Remeha Avanta Plus 24s the same design and layout
as the combi range without the DHW components (three way
valve and plate heat exchanger).

8.3.1 Regulating
The Remeha Avanta Plus is a fully modulating boiler and can
be regulated using one or more of the following methods;
1. Open Therm – 2 wire interface compatible with the
Remeha Celcia 15 room compensator and the Remeha
Celcia 20 outside weather compensator or with any other
proprietor’s OpenTherm® controls.
2. Open Therm thermostat in combination with an external
time clock.
3. On/Off room thermostat – volt free (on the X9 terminal
strip).
4. On/Off room thermostat – 230 V (on the X2 terminal strip).
5. 230 V Switching time clock - compatible with the Remeha
two channel time clock or with any other proprietor’s time
clock. For further details see par. 2.8.

8.3.2 Advanced boiler control (‘abc®’-control)


An intelligent advanced boiler control (‘abc®’) continuously
monitors the boiler conditions and ensures a very reliable
supply of heat. This control system is adept at dealing with
negative influences from the system such as flow reduction,
airflow problems and alike. In the event of such influences, the
boiler will not go to “lock-out” failure mode, but will in the first
instance modulate back, and if necessary, depending on the
nature of the circumstances, will temporarily switch off (shut-
down or control stop), and then after a short while simply try
again.

61
Remeha Avanta Plus

o
Provided that the situation is not actually hazardous, the
Remeha Avanta Plus will always try to supply heat.
The ‘abc®’- control prevents unnecessary additional call outs.

8.3.3 Regulating the water temperature


The Remeha Avanta Plus is fitted with an electronic tempera-
ture regulator with flow and return temperature sensors. The
flow temperature can be set to between 20 and 85°C, see
2.9.8 (factory setting 75°C) The boiler modulates it’s output up
and down to match the flow set point from internal or external
control. When the boiler is at it’s at minimum output and the
flow temperature still continues to rise, once the flow set point
is exceeded by 5°C the boiler will shut down on a controlled
stop (code 8).

8.3.4 Low flow / water protection


The Remeha Avanta Plus has a low-water protection based on
temperature readings. By modulating down as soon as there
is a risk of an insufficient water flow, the boiler will keep work-
ing for as long as possible. An insufficient water flow, however
caused, - indicated by a flow/return dt ] 45°C or a rate of
rise in the flow temperature > 1°C/sec – will be sensed by
the ‘abc®’ control which will shut the boiler down in a blocking
mode with the display showing (code 9) for 10 minutes and
before re-starting.
If there is no water in the boiler or if the pump is not running, it
will go to lock out (code é7) and require manual re-set.

8.3.5 High Limit temperature protection


If the flow temperature exceeds 110°C the high limit tempe-
rature protection device switches off the boiler in a lock out
mode with the display showing (code é1) This mode will
require a manual re-set.
When the fault is corrected, the boiler can be restarted by
pressing the reset-key on the control panel and holding for 3
seconds.
